Guo Feilong had heard of medium-quality spirit stones before, but he had never seen one.
This was because medium-quality spirit stones simply didn't circulate among cultivators below the Golden Elixir stage.
Wu Yumeng said, "The spiritual energy within a medium-quality spirit stone is about eight times that of a low-quality spirit stone, but it takes a hundred low-quality spirit stones to exchange for one medium-quality spirit stone.
Using medium-quality spirit stones for cultivation at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages is a loss.
After all, the spiritual energy in one medium-quality spirit stone is only equivalent to that in eight low-quality spirit stones.
Yet, it takes a hundred low-quality spirit stones to exchange for one medium-quality spirit stone.
Even Golden Elixir stage cultivators are usually reluctant to use medium-quality spirit stones for regular cultivation. They only use them when breaking through minor and major stages.
That's when they use medium-quality spirit stones to quickly absorb spiritual energy and then rapidly refine their Golden Elixir or Elemental Infant again, which is much more effective than using low-quality spirit stones.
There are usually two ways to obtain medium-quality spirit stones.
The first is to participate in the extraterritorial battlefield and exchange points in the Human Cultivation Alliance warehouse.
The second is for Golden Elixir stage cultivators to take low-quality spirit stones to the various branches of the Human Cultivation Alliance.
They exchange at a rate of one hundred low-quality spirit stones for one medium-quality spirit stone.
Above medium-quality spirit stones, there are high-quality spirit stones and supreme-quality spirit stones.
The spiritual energy in high-quality spirit stones is also about eight times that of medium-quality spirit stones, but it takes a hundred medium-quality spirit stones to exchange for one high-quality spirit stone.
The same goes for supreme-quality spirit stones, where the spiritual energy is about eight times that of high-quality spirit stones, and it still takes a hundred high-quality spirit stones to exchange for one supreme-quality spirit stone.
High-grade spirit stones have many uses that low-grade spirit stones cannot replace.
The higher the cultivation stage, the more high-grade spirit stones are needed when breaking through stages."
Guo Feilong understood, and couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking, "This Human Cultivation Alliance is really something. Even though the spiritual energy difference is just eight times, they insist on a hundred-to-one exchange rate.
Based on the storage ratio of spiritual energy in spirit stones, the spiritual energy in 100 low-quality spirit stones equals the total amount in 12.5 medium-quality spirit stones.
Low-level cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages really can't afford to use high-grade spirit stones for cultivation.
But if a family is very wealthy, using medium-quality spirit stones for cultivation is much faster than using low-quality ones."

Wu Yumeng then said sourly, "Husband, do you know, I heard from my Wu family ancestor that some geniuses in major immortal cultivation forces, those Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators,
start their cultivation using high-quality spirit stones. They can reach Foundation Establishment in a hundred days, Golden Elixir in ten thousand days, and Elemental Infant in a hundred years.
Compared to normal cultivators, they have more time and more opportunities to reach the Divine Transformation stage.
Most Elemental Infant stage cultivators have a lifespan of about five thousand years.
Until their lifespan runs out, they haven't even reached the late Elemental Infant stage at Great Perfection, let alone have the qualifications to attempt the Divine Transformation stage.
Ultimately, they are defeated by time and the lack of cultivation resources.
The resources needed for an immortal cultivation force to nurture a Divine Transformation stage cultivator are astronomical.
The larger the cultivation force, the more geniuses they have, and they never lack Heavenly Spirit Root-level geniuses.
Whoever gets nurtured as a Divine Transformation stage seed faces intense competition among geniuses.
Those geniuses in top-tier cultivation forces can become Elemental Infant stage cultivators within a hundred years.
While geniuses in small cultivation forces like ours can at most reach the early Golden Elixir stage within a hundred years.
There's simply no comparison."
Wu Yumeng, a side-line genius from an Elemental Infant-level family, felt like she was from a small family, enviously speaking of those top-tier family geniuses.
Guo Feilong suddenly felt that the Golden Elixir-level forces in the Arctic Continent's cultivation world were like beggars compared to those top-tier cultivation forces.
And the Guo family he founded wasn't even on the level of a beggar. Comparing people really made him feel like crying.
Guo Feilong scanned his storage bag with his divine sense and knew there were about 300,000 medium-quality spirit stones inside, equivalent to the value of 30 million low-quality spirit stones.
Guo Feilong guessed that these 300,000 medium-quality spirit stones in the storage bag were likely prepared by the mid-Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator he killed to break through to the late Golden Elixir stage.
Previously, when he killed a Liu family early Golden Elixir stage cultivator in the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world, he didn't see any medium-quality spirit stones in the opponent's storage bag.
Thinking that medium-quality spirit stones could speed up cultivation.
Guo Feilong suddenly had a crazy and bold idea.
His spiritual root aptitude was already Heavenly Spirit Root of the highest quality. If he had enough medium-quality spirit stones for cultivation, wouldn't he quickly reach the late Foundation Establishment stage at Great Perfection and use auspicious clouds to directly break through to the Golden Elixir stage?
There were many Golden Elixir stage demon cultivators in the Arctic Continent's cultivation world who had earned points from the extraterritorial battlefield, and they must all have medium-quality spirit stones on them.
If he secretly hunted Golden Elixir stage demon cultivators and obtained the medium-quality spirit stones they had,
wouldn't he be able to quickly cultivate to the late Golden Elixir stage at Great Perfection and then use auspicious clouds to directly break through to the Elemental Infant stage?
The thought of going out to hunt Golden Elixir stage demon cultivators lingered in Guo Feilong's mind, tempting him like a devil.
His lifebound sacred treasure's tribulation lightning power was the nemesis of demon cultivators. He had already killed a mid-Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator, so what was there to fear?
As long as he didn't encounter a False Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator, Guo Feilong felt that even if he met a late Golden Elixir stage at Great Perfection demon cultivator, he could kill them.
Even if he couldn't kill a late Golden Elixir stage at Great Perfection demon cultivator, he could at least successfully escape.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Sometimes you smile cunningly, sometimes you smile foolishly, and sometimes you look worried."
Wu Yumeng's concerned words interrupted Guo Feilong's crazy thoughts.
Guo Feilong patted his storage bag, and instantly, 100,000 medium-quality spirit stones flew out of the storage bag, forming a pile on the ground.
"I was smiling just now because the mid-Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator we killed had 300,000 medium-quality spirit stones in his storage bag. You're at the Golden Elixir stage now, so take these 100,000 medium-quality spirit stones."
Wu Yumeng happily waved her hand, and half of the pile of medium-quality spirit stones on the ground turned into dust-sized particles and entered her storage bag.
"Husband, I'm not yet at the peak of the early Golden Elixir stage. I won't use medium-quality spirit stones for cultivation unless I'm breaking through to the mid-Golden Elixir stage. That would be too extravagant and wasteful."
Wu Yumeng said, "I only need 50,000 medium-quality spirit stones. I'll give these 50,000 medium-quality spirit stones to Dong'er, hoping he can reach the Foundation Establishment stage soon."
The "Dong'er" she mentioned was named Guo Zhendong, a Heavenly Spirit Root genius, and her first child with Guo Feilong.
"Alright." Guo Feilong nodded, collected the remaining 50,000 medium-quality spirit stones from the ground into his storage bag, and then cast a mystic light spell, covering the entire small world of the Heavenly Abode with the White Tiger Swallowing Immortal Formation, which immediately stopped operating and returned to its previous state.
The next moment, he and Wu Yumeng arrived outside the entrance of the small world of the Heavenly Abode and checked the defensive formation's light screen.
The gap in the formation's light screen that the mid-Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator had opened had long since healed.
After checking the defensive formation, Guo Feilong and Wu Yumeng returned to the Guo family's Heavenly Abode palace. It was still dark, equivalent to around 2:30 in the morning.
After that, he continued with Wu Yumeng, Lin Feiyu, Shangguan Mingyue, and several other wives and concubines, working on the life gene continuation research project.
